The Agony of Oppression

I held down my head in obscurity disdain and rejected I stand alone, alone Oppression has been my outcry, my cry Days of merciless labour, injustice has become my pain, my pain Days of suffering trigger my thoughts to retreat beneath As the dread of injustice infiltrate this place, this place The sting of cruelty penetrates my brain, my brain And impiety of those who punished with pain remain unmoved by their callous game Oppression inflicted is the epitome of evil Mingled with the smell of death I am afflicted These shackles of bondage torments my brain Creating intimidation relentlessly unbearable I questioned this exploit, why is this my plight This is not right, this is not right Why am I denied of my rights, for a fair fight In spite of the aggravate It’s not too late to disintegrate these chains of bondage that was meant to intimidate
